Battery Cell, Module, & Pack Test Equipment

High-precision charge/discharge cyclers, regenerative pack test systems, Power HIL simulation, and insulation safety analyzers.

Comprehensive Battery Testing Architecture for EV & ESS Infrastructure

Modern energy storage systems and electric vehicle powertrains demand absolute precision during battery validation. Chroma provides turnkey automated test equipment (ATE) and high-accuracy power instrumentation covering every stage of the battery lifecycle—from lithium-ion cell formation, degradation analysis, and BMS Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) simulation to high-voltage battery pack end-of-line (EOL) production.

±0.02% FS Precision

High accuracy measurement for voltage and current channels, essential for detecting subtle capacity variations and long-term degradation.

50kHz High-Speed Sampling

Hardware-based real-time sampling eliminates capacity calculation errors typical of software-lagged data logging systems.

>90% Energy Recovery

Regenerative power architectures recycle discharge energy back to the grid or parallel channels, significantly lowering thermal dissipation and operational costs.

Safety & Power HIL

Multi-layered hardware protection, CANbus/CAN FD integration, and real-world driving cycle simulation for complete UN 38.3 & UL 2580 compliance.

Engineered for Reliability, Zero-Downtime Data, and Operator Safety

Over four decades of power conversion experience enables Chroma to manufacture battery test systems that prevent catastrophic battery failures and safeguard laboratory assets. Our hardware and software platforms adhere strictly to international safety standards.

Non-Volatile Memory Data Protection

In the event of facility power disruption or communication loss, test profiles and telemetry data remain stored in non-volatile hardware memory, preventing lost test cycles.

Environmental & Fire Safety Interlocks

Integrated relay logic connects directly to climate chambers, smoke detectors, and inert gas purge systems to automatically halt current flow upon hazard detection.

Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS)

Advanced EIS frequency sweep capabilities allow non-invasive monitoring of internal cell resistance growth and lithium plating mechanisms during fast-charging tests.

Standard Compliance Validation

Chroma test equipment supports fully automated script generation for international validation standards:

  • ISO 12405 / IEC 62660: EV Lithium-ion Pack & Cell Testing
  • UN 38.3: Transport Safety Cycling & Electrical Abuse Test
  • UL 2580 / UL 1973: Electric Vehicle & Stationary Energy Storage
